Hi! I’m Chelsea and I am “Mama” to three beautiful girls and wife to a handsome cowboy. I feel incredibly blessed and even though I get peed on almost daily, I have the absolute privilege of loving my job.

I also love peanuts in my Dr. Pepper, reading, travel, live music, and pizza. I live a simple life on a ranch with my family, yet I have traveled the world and been sky diving three times. Life is so beautiful and adventure is everywhere!

Photography was always a fun hobby, but working in the darkroom in high school really sparked my interest. Photography was my minor in college and has since become my passion. I started my business in 2007, then went full time and began specializing in newborns in 2011.

Newborn photography makes me happy. My husband claims I just play with babies all day. And he isn’t wrong! But the job takes a tremendous amount of patience and a soothing touch. There are many hours of waiting for babies to eat or sleep, straightening clutched fingers, cleaning poopy blankets, editing out jaundice, designing beautiful albums, and constantly soaking in more knowledge and training.

Because I am so blessed, I feel called to give back all that I can. I often donate my time to worthy organizations such as my church, The Ronald McDonald House, and local adoption agencies. I also volunteer with Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep by providing bereavement photography, The Tiny Sparrow Foundation which provides photography sessions to children with life threatening illnesses, and with Operation: Love ReUnited which supports our military and their families during times of deployment.

Baby Photos in San Antonio | Chelsea Lietz Photography | Eleanor

Sweet Miss Eleanor came to my studio for newborn baby photos in San Antonio at eleven days of age. At seven pounds and 5 ounces, she was beautiful and sweet and very sleepy for me. Her parents requested florals, coral, mint, turquoise, gold, and a vintage shabby chic vibe. I had so much fun styling her session to these requests so that her images would coordinate with her sweet nursery. Eleanor also flashed me some sweet baby smiles and cute expressions.

Newborn photography captures these sweet moments when they are so impossibly tiny and new. Let’s talk about how we can design a session around your baby and your style. Information can be found on the pricing and FAQ pages. Sample work can be found on this blog and on my facebook page under Chelsea Lietz Photography. Inquire on the CONTACT ME page on this website with questions and for availability. I recommend booking newborn and maternity sessions during your second trimester. Most newborn images are taken between five and fifteen days old and take place in my comfortable studio where all props are available to you. Parent and sibling shots are welcome.

Did you know that I offer a baby registry? You can register with Chelsea Lietz Photography and your friends, family, and baby shower guests can contribute towards your priceless newborn session, package, professional quality prints, digital images for baby announcements, or keepsake products such as albums and wall art. Ask me for details.
